Quitting smoking is easy. I do it at least 20 times a day.

Best way for me to quit, which has been 5 years now. I quit cold turkey for about 3 weeks. The cravings were really bad. So i grabbed two Marlboro and chained smoked them as quick as I could. I got so sick that the smell of smoke wanted to make me vomit. Then the cravings stopped.

Never started. Disgusting money pit. I applaud those of you who have kicked the habit though. A lot of people I know have been sucked in and can't get out.

I smoke about 10 a day. I've been looking into ecigs lately, so perhaps I can waste some money on that instead.

How'd you do it? Thinking bout quitting and I don't think going out cold turkey would keep me from losing my mind lol. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smokin.gif.f1dc8d2acb1809e863ebd6a47eaa0d45.gif

I quit for about a year and then one morning I got home from work and was sitting there watching the morning news when they broke in with a "special report" showing the world trade center on fire...and as I watched a huge plane crash into the other one....and they fell...and then I went to the store and bought a pack of cigs....

I smoked for over 20 years. I have been quit for over 3 years now. After many attempts to quit cold turkey, patch, quit smoking studies I was able to quit using Chantix. I was really ready to quit this time, I don't think that I was doing it for the right reasons before. If you are trying to quit for any reason other than your truly wanting to, it won't work. That includes for a sig. other, money, job etc. I have not had one single relapse, I can sit in smokey bars, drink all I want, etc. Matter of fact, the smell bothers me a bit now, rather than smelling good to me( which it did up until about a year ago).

Don't get discouraged if you can't quit the first time, it took me 5 attempts. Also, even if you are succsessful, you will think about it from time to time, even get cravings. Mostly when stressed( at least for me). Stick to your guns, and you will make it.

Cold turkey. Twice. Two years each time though I'm barely holding on right now.

I knowsome people at work that use gum, patch and my mother in law did hypnosis
